Q:

2/3 as a decimal

A) 0.47 B) 6.77
C) 0.67 D) 0.07
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0.67

Explanation:

To convert a fraction into decimal, just take the number on top which we called the numerator and divide it by the number at the bottom which we called the denominator.

2/3

How it comes :

÷ 0 bring down the decimal point.

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

20 ÷ 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20

etc...

This gives the recurring decimal 0.6666...

If we round off to two decimals , then it becomes 0.67.

 

Hence, decimal fraction of 2/3 = 0.67.

Q:

In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:

A) 18 m B) 20 m
C) 27m D) 9 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 m

Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

 

A : C = 100 : 72.

 

B:C = B/A*A/C = 90/100*100/72 = 90/72

 

When B runs 90 m, C runs 72 m.

 

When B runs 100 m, C runs (72/90*100)m = 80m

 

 B can give C 20 m.
